Dazzling dresses, picture perfect hair and teeth so blindingly white onlookers risk glare just gazing at them - it can only be the Oscars!

And this year, the screen perfect show seemingly went off without a hitch as the stars graciously accepted their awards, with just a few political nods to get Hollywood's finest interested.

And, after last year's envelope Best Picture debacle organisers must have been seriously happy things went off without a hitch.

But there are a few moments we don't see from our sitting rooms - from the drinks to the free snacks (the ceremony is more than three hours long so those stars do have to eat!)

Here is a look at what we don't see...

The snacks

Host Jimmy Kimmel left a snack box under every attendee's seat - from jounalists to the stars. The cute box contained crisps, a cereal bar and a sweet note.

One happy guest wrote: "Snacks for guests! V grateful for this lunchbox that was under my seat. Inside: a granola bar, candy, chips and a note."

The note read: "It wouldn't be right you sat through this without snacks, please don't throw them at me! Singed Jimmy. Ps a donation to the LA regional food bank has been made for each box."

The box also contained gum for those pecks on cheeks later.

You don't really think the guests go through the three hour ceremony without a few tipples?

Usually the stars keep their drinks under their seats and take a few sips during commercial breaks or when they know the camera is off them... All apart from Jennifer Lawrence!

The Red Sparrow actress was seen clutching a large white as she scrambled across rows to get to her seat. Proving she is a hero at every turn.

Backstage

After stars collect their awards they are ushered into a cute backstage area where rather dapper waiting staff are on hand to provide food and drinks if needed.

This year the academy even had a cute camera on hand to capture the fun!

Ad breaks

During the commercial breaks, of which there are many, the audience often mingle around and change seats as they catch up with old pals - one source says it can get quite noisy as the A listers rush around.

Stars also use this time to use the bathroom or get more snacks and booze.
